Beautiful CEO's Super Expert-Chapter 1709: Footsteps!

In the spacious hall of the City Lord's Mansion, the crowd was bustling, and lights were brilliant!

At this moment, the wine had passed three rounds, and the scene was quite lively!

However, it's worth noting that this place gathered the most distinguished people in Guangping City!

"Family Head Jiang, I wonder what you think about the marriage between my son and your daughter?"

At this moment, Xue Yanhai suddenly stood up from his seat and asked with a smile.

Hearing this, the scene suddenly quieted down a lot!

"The two young people are the outstanding talents of the younger generation in Guangping City. If they could unite, it would be a good story for our city!"

At this time, Han Yuanmao also stood up and said with a smile.

Although he was smiling, a gleam flashed in his eyes!

Hearing these words, Jiang Zhenghua and Jiang Shiqi's hearts trembled slightly. It has finally come!

They knew that Xue Yanhai was just a ploy; the City Lord seemed to have spoken casually, but it was the real pressure!

Next to them, Jiang Zhengyao was slightly shocked, his face showing an excited expression!

Since Han Qiming returned and was accepted as a direct disciple by the Elder of the Iron Cloud Sect, he had been thrilled!

This news was like a shot of adrenaline for him!

Others also looked at Jiang Zhenghua to see how he would react!

After such a long time, everyone roughly understood that Jiang Zhenghua actually didn't want to form a marriage alliance with the Xue Family!

If he wanted to, the matter would have been settled long ago!

In fact, these noble families in Guangping City also did not wish for this to happen, as it was of no benefit to them!

Of course, they wouldn't say much at this time!

Jiang Zhenghua felt a lot of pressure at this moment, his face full of hesitation!

Because if he refused again on this occasion, it would undoubtedly offend the City Lord's Mansion completely!

He knew why the City Lord's Mansion was so keen on this matter; it was nothing but wanting their Jiang Family to become one of its tools!

Moreover, it was far inferior to the Xue Family!

Han Yuanmao saw Jiang Zhenghua's hesitant and struggling appearance and thought to himself:

"It seems that it would be better to support Jiang Zhengyao! Otherwise, even if a marriage alliance is formed between the Xue and Jiang families, it might not be of use to me!"

"However, there is no hurry for this matter; it can be taken slowly. What is most important now is to finalize the marriage alliance!"

As for why Han Yuanmao didn't let his son Han Qiming marry Jiang Shiqi, it wasn't because Jiang Shiqi was not good. On the contrary, he also thought that a girl like Jiang Shiqi was hard to come by!

The key issue was that the Jiang Family was not worthy!

Especially now, with his son being accepted as a direct disciple by the Elder of the Iron Cloud Sect, it was even more impossible!

It just so happened that the Xue Family and the Han Family had already formed a community of interests, and Xue Hong was considered very promising. After much consideration, he was more suitable!

"City Lord, Family Head Xue, thank you both for your love for my daughter. Please allow me some time to consider this matter."

After a moment, Jiang Zhenghua also stood up and cupped his hands apologetically.

Upon hearing this, Xue Yanhai's face immediately turned cold, and Han Yuanmao's face darkened as a wave of anger rose in his heart!

This Jiang Zhenghua truly doesn't appreciate favors!

"Family Head Jiang, after so long, have you not yet decided?"

Xue Yanhai said in an icy tone:

"Could it be that you look down on my son Hong'er?"

"How could that be! Young Master Xue is well-known as a talented youth; how could I look down on him?"

Jiang Zhenghua quickly replied.

"In that case, what's there to consider?"

Xue Yanhai said somewhat aggressively.

Jiang Zhenghua was at a loss for words when he heard this!

Could it be said that my daughter simply doesn't like Xue Hong?

If he said that, it would offend people too much!

Although he had other reasons, the most important one was that his daughter didn't want to!

At this moment, Han Qiming gave Xue Hong a look, and he immediately understood!

Although Jiang Zhenghua's statement just now made him embarrassed, he still walked over to where the Jiang Family was sitting!

For him, this matter must be settled now; otherwise, it would be even more embarrassing!

"Family Head Jiang, I am absolutely sincere about Shiqi; I hope you will fulfill my wish!"

Xue Hong bowed and said, seemingly sincere!

"Family Head Jiang, see, even Young Master Xue is saying this; what else do you have to worry about?"

Han Yuanmao said with a broad smile.

Jiang Zhenghua was instantly caught in a dilemma, not knowing how to get through this situation!

Jiang Shiqi also looked disheartened; given this stance, the Xue Family and the City Lord's Mansion were determined to finalize this matter today!

To be honest, she really didn't want to marry Xue Hong!

But in such a situation, what could she do?

Her father had already persisted for so long without giving in, which wasn't easy, and she had nothing to complain about!

Perhaps this is her destiny!

"Brother, I think Young Master Xue is handsome and has reached the Fourth Turn of the Cave Void Realm at such a young age; he matches well with Shiqi!"

At this moment, Jiang Zhengyao also spoke up!

Hearing this, Jiang Zhenghua was immediately dumbfounded, staring at Jiang Zhengyao for several moments!

At this time, to say such a thing was a complete stab in the back!

Although they were not siblings by blood but cousins, and despite their differences in opinion, how could he add another blow at this time?!

Jiang Zhengyao still wore a faint smile because, due to Han Qiming, his determination was stronger than ever!

This opportunity, he could not miss!

Han Yuanmao immediately showed a gratified smile!

This Jiang Zhengyao was much more sensible than Jiang Zhenghua!

"Family Head Jiang, Xue Hong has always been my brother. If he and Miss Shiqi could truly have a good ending, I would certainly invite my master to congratulate on that day!"

Han Qiming now also spoke calmly.

As soon as these words fell, everyone's heart shook!

This statement carried more weight than all the previous words combined!

Because he directly invoked his master!

The more direct implication of this statement was, don't forget my current status!

Hearing this, Jiang Zhenghua and Jiang Shiqi's expressions immediately changed!

Although Han Qiming's current strength certainly couldn't compare to his father's, due to his relationship with the Iron Cloud Sect, his weight was undoubtedly significant!

They just didn't expect Han Qiming to directly use this identity to exert pressure!

Seeing this, Han Yuanmao and Xue Yanhai felt extremely pleased!

Who told Jiang Zhenghua to be so unappreciative?!

Today was about finalizing the marriage alliance between the two families, and the next step was to gradually support Jiang Zhengyao's rise!

Jiang Shiqi gently held her father's hand, meaning if there's really no way out, just agree!

She also knew her father had tried his best!

At this moment, suddenly, a burst of footsteps abruptly echoed in the hall!

The sound came from afar, getting clearer!

Everyone couldn't help but feel puzzled; the banquet was already halfway through, who could be coming now?!
